I'm going to guess that Pascal isn't a mage then from what we know. More of a major attacker, but with a Staff. (Melee Raine ftw)

Anyways, Palik looks great () in those scans. She seems really strong by the looks of those artes, though we don't have much confirmed. I'm almost certain she won't be a permanent party member though. Maybe she'll stick around for most of the game though.

Anyways, Malik looks like what I thought he would be. Evil. I can't tell if he is or not though. It's just, with an army of soldiers behind him, that either leads me to believe he works with the Desians or something, or just alongside Asbel. Though, Malik is a protagonist from what we know already.

For some reason, I think I'm not going to like the Arles Pot. Or the new title system. It's just that I probably won't use it much, unless the Arles Pot is used the same way as Cooking was in ToS. Then I'll probably use it on my first runthrough, and on my first Mania runthrough. Otherwise, it doesn't look very helpful.

Though, didn't people say somewhere it will be used for potions and such in dungeons?

Also, does anyone know who the red haired girl (here) is? Apparently, she can be used. Maybe if we can get the Mastery Skill part deciphered, we can find out.

This game looks incredible. The Artes just look perfect, so I can barely see this game as a failure. Of course, when it comes to RPGs, or any game, graphics aren't everything...

Kratos, I think Hissatsu Waza means somewhere along the lines of Mystic Arte. Look at the screen. It seems he's performing his MA.
